The Tatra mountain peak Krivan dominates the upper part of the former Liptov County and multiple surveys among nature lovers have ranked it as the country's most beautiful peak. Kriváň has also been a major symbol in Slovak ethnic and national activism for the past two centuries. It has been referenced in works of art from 19th-century literature, through paintings, film documentaries, to a Polish rock track. It is perceived as a symbol of High Tatras and also, in the broader sense, as a symbol of varied natural resources in Slovakia
